Justin Bieber brought his Purpose World Tour to Essex tonight – and despite admitting he was feeling a little worse for wear, he proved to the V Festival crowd that he's still one of the best popstars around.

After an opening monologue in classic Biebs style, he appeared on stage to a huge roar and slid down part of the stage.

"How are you guys feeling tonight? We're gonna slow it down a little bit for you," he told the crowd, before treating the Essex throng to an acoustic version of his current number one single 'Cold Water'. The Major Lazer track quickly veered into his monster hit 'Love Yourself'.

"How many of you came with a friend?" he asked the crowd. "How many came with a family member? How many came with a boyfriend or girlfriend?" before cheekily smirking and adding: "Boyfriends, don't bring your girlfriends to a Justin Bieber concert."

And obviously, it wouldn't be a Justin Bieber concert without a monologue expressing his appreciation.

"I wanna say thank you to each and every one of you for showing up. Little hungover, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm having the best time. I could do with a burger to soak up the alcohol."
